With recent versions of gcc on Ubuntu a very large lzma_decompress.img file is
output. (e.g. 134479600 bytes instead of 2864.) This causes grub-mkimage to
fail with: "error: Decompressor is too big."
This seems to be caused by a section .note.gnu.property that is placed at an
offset such that objcopy needs to pad the img file with zeros.
This issue is present on:
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-26ubuntu1~19.10) 8.3.0
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 9.2.1-9ubuntu2) 9.2.1 20191008
This issue is not present on:
Ubuntu 19.10 with gcc (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~19.10) 7.5.0
RHEL 8.0 with gcc 8.3.1 20190507 (Red Hat 8.3.1-4)
The issue can be fixed by removing the section using objcopy as shown in
this patch.

This section is generated by clang and is useful only for debugging.
It contains exotic relocations, so strip them to avoid them interferring
with module loading.
Run the command below
$ git grep -l schedulded | xargs sed -i 's/schedulded/scheduled/g'

Previously we supplied only unsigned divisions on platforms that need software
division.
Yet compiler may itself use a signed division. A typical example would be a
difference between 2 pointers which involves division by object size.
